A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off forms and sharp, chamfered corners. Strokes are predominantly straight and orthogonal, with selective diagonal cuts and notches that create a faceted, constructed feel. Counters tend toward rectangular shapes, apertures are tight, and joins read as rigid rather than calligraphic, producing a compact, high-impact texture in text. Widths run broad overall with noticeable per-letter variance, and the design uses a few simplified curves (notably in rounded characters) that still resolve into angular, engineered silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and a techno-industrial flavor are desired—headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and interface or game UI. It will read most confidently at medium to large sizes where the internal counters and angular cuts have room to stay clear.
The font projects a bold, machine-made personality with a strong retro-digital edge. Its blocky geometry and clipped corners evoke control panels, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display typography, giving it an assertive, no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a modular, hard-edged construction, combining wide proportions with engineered corner cuts to signal technology, strength, and futurism.
The all-caps set is particularly uniform and architectural, while the lowercase adopts similarly squared constructions with distinctive terminals and occasional stepped details. Numerals follow the same modular logic, with squared bowls and hard-edged diagonals that keep the set visually consistent in technical or game-like layouts.
